In what could easily be the best video you see all day, an intrepid <a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/news/next_iphone_revealed_design_sketches_youtube_video_pulled" target="_self">YouTube</a> user has managed to pull together a very respectable cover of Perry's "Teenage Dream," playing every part of the song on his iPad.</p><p>The tune comes together thanks to the ingenious use of four different iOS apps including <a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/iphone/cat_piano_rad_it_sounds" target="_self">Cat Piano</a> and <a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/reviews/korg_ielectribe" target="_self">Korg Electribe</a>. We're hoping, in a fit of Apple loyalty, that the varying components of the song were edited together using GarageBand, and that the video was cut on a Mac as well.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;" width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/G8trXode5Z4?version=3" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/G8trXode5Z4?version=3" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>Follow this article's author, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/SeamusBellamy" target="_blank">Seamus Bellamy on Twitter</a></em></p>http://www.maclife.com/article/ipad/katy_perry_cover_validates_existence_cat_piano_ipad_app#commentsCat PianoiOS applicationsiPadKaty PerryMusicOMG thats so radiPadVideosTue, 25 Jan 2011 20:21:56 +0000Seamus Bellamy9702 at http://www.maclife.com
